Why is the candle pink?

I've heard that it is properly called "Rose" ;-)

Isn't this one of two days in the Latin Rite calender where Priests are allowed to wear rose colored vestments instead of purple? Just wondering. You know, to "lighten" things up.

Yes, but WHY? Why is this? And why can't we answer right off the tops of our heads like we should be able to.
